It's author is someone I respect quite a bit and the following poem actually influenced one of my recent works which, to my surprise, he praised. I hope you all enjoy.

Also, what should it's title be?

Do you remember our sweet life

When we were so young

And had in our heart no other desire

Than to be clothed and in love

When by adding your age to mine

We couldn't reach forty years between us

And, in our humble little home

Everything, even winter, seemed spring

Beautiful days

The world sat to incredible banquets

My freinds said I was eloquent, and your blouse

Had a pin that pricked me

I read a lot of Plato, but remember nothing

Better than Malbranche and Lammenais

You showed me celestial kindness

With the flower you gave me

Our gardens were a single lilac

You screened the window with your slip

I would use the cracked clay bowl

And gave you the porcelain cup

The great calamities made us laugh

Your lashes burnt your stocking lost

And the beloved portrait of divine Shakespeare

That we sold one evening for our supper
